David Letterman Apologizes to Wife on Late Show

NEW YORK --- Despite saying he wouldn't talk about the $2 million extortion plot surrounding his sexual affairs, Late Show host David Letterman used his opening monologue tonight to apologize to his wife and his colleagues.

"I got in the car this morning and the navigation lady wasn't speaking to me," he joked before getting serious on a show that featured Steve Martin and Martin Short. It was his first public appearance at the Ed Sullivan Theater since Thursday, when he revealed the shocking extortion tale.
